When Gu Shengchao came to Qixingya Tianxuan Peak, he didn't dare to show up rashly, so he hid behind the rocks to observe.
The moonlight was bright, and in front of him was a flat rock, more than ten feet square. Looking further ahead, there is a stone house on the side of the road, carved into the cliff. The doors and windows of the stone house are closed. I don't know if anyone lives in it. The mountain road next to the stone house winds into the distance, and the house hidden in the trees at the end of the mountain road is clearly visible.
Gu Shengchao got up and was about to go to the stone house to find out what was going on. There was a creak and someone inside opened the heavy wooden door of the stone house. The ancient sage was extremely alert and immediately squatted down without moving.
Someone came out and practiced boxing and kicking on the flat rock.
At this time, the moonlight was shining brightly, and Gu Shengchao did not dare to peek for fear of being discovered by the other party.
The man practiced a few sets of kung fu, strolled to the edge of the cliff, sat down, and leaned against the side of the rock where Gu Shengchao was hiding.
"Are you okay?" the man asked softly, his voice was very soft.
Gu Shengchao was frightened and thought he had been discovered. Just as he was about to jump down and escape, the man said again: "My ankle injury has been cured by the master, but there is no news from you. It is really worrying."
"Ding Ying!" Gu Shengchao heard the other party's voice and almost shouted out. He held his breath and listened.
"You broke the rules by carrying me up the mountain. The master punished me to think about my mistakes here alone without the chance to go down the mountain to find you. That day you fell off the cliff and it was uncertain whether you would live or die. I hope God will bless you through the difficulty. If you have something wrong with me, I will stay alone for you for the rest of my life." Ding Ying sighed, but her tone was firm.
Gu Shengchao was moved at the moment and did not dare to show up. He planned to wait until Ding Ying returned to the stone house and pretend to be passing by, so as not to embarrass her.
Ding Ying sighed again, "You have a shattered Dantian and no one around you to take care of you. It's really pitiful to be alone. I taught the master the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique, but she scolded me and refused to let me practice heresy. You It would be great if we were by my side. We can think about this set of swordsmanship together, which is better than me thinking about it alone." She then rambled on to herself, and finally said: "I am here to tell you every day. I don’t know if you can hear these words, or whether you can hear them or not. I sincerely hope that you can turn the danger into good and be safe." She got up and returned to the stone house.
Gu Shengchao heard the sound of the wooden door closing and waited for another cup of tea before he dared to peek secretly to make sure there was no one around and strode towards the stone house. If he had waited for Ding Ying to enter the stone house before going there, for fear that the other party would become suspicious, Ding Ying would never have expected that he had overheard her inner thoughts.
"Oops!" Gu Shengchao walked to the door of the stone house and pretended to fall, calling out softly.
Sure enough, Ding Ying opened the door and stuck her head out. She was shocked and said: "Is it you?"
"Why are you here?" Gu Shengchao pretended to be surprised. He gestured for her to be quiet, but it was already too late. A sword energy struck from behind.
Gu Shengchao secretly screamed that something was wrong, and he ducked away.
"Master!" Ding Ying exclaimed.
Master Ding Ying is not very old and looks much younger than Lu Chuan. She has a little makeup and her delicate face has a unique charm. She yelled: "Who are you? You dare to break into my Tianxuan Peak at night and seek death."
Qixing Cliff prohibits men from going up to the peak. Ancient Sage Chao knew this rule. He broke the sect's rules first. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff, preparing to return the way he came. Master Ding Ying refused to let him go, and thrust his sword at him. The sword energy was already approaching behind him. Just as Gu Shengchao was about to dodge, the sword energy disappeared inexplicably.
The ancient sage was so surprised that he turned around to be on guard, only to see Ding Ying standing in front of him. The tip of her master's sword was already close to her handsome and somewhat frightened face.
"Do you know each other?" Master Ding Ying had a sullen face, swung her sword and disappeared into her body, glaring at the two of them coldly.
When Ding Ying saw her master put away the sword, her hanging heart was relieved and her expression was slightly relieved. She whispered shyly: "Master, I don't know, but this man is the good man who saved me on the road and carried my disciple up the mountain."
"Good guy?" Master Ding Ying snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Silly girl, you have been deceived." She pulled Ding Ying behind her and without any warning raised her palm to strike at the Ancient Saint Chao.
"Master, no, his Dantian is damaged and he has no internal strength." Ding Ying said urgently, stamping her feet helplessly.
The palm wind was fierce, and Gu Shengchao moved to avoid it, and Ding Ying's words just fell.
Ding Ying was shocked, as if meeting Gu Shengchao for the first time. A person without internal strength cannot dodge and move so fast. In just a blink of an eye, he can avoid the master's fatal blow.
"Girl, you saw it. This guy must be lying to you. My teacher has long said that men are absolutely unreliable. Don't expect their so-called guarantees and promises to be nonsense." Master Ding Ying seemed to have a big prejudice against men. , his tone was full of disdain. She stood aside, looked at the two of them coldly, and ordered: "Girl, breaking his legs means you have made up for it. If you have any disputes in the past, I will not embarrass you again."
"But..." Ding Ying glanced at Gu Shengchao and hesitated.
Master Ding Ying said sternly: "Why, if you can't do it, do you have to force the master to do it himself?"
"No, I obey my orders." Ding Ying suddenly had an idea. Instead of letting her master hurt Gu Shengchao, she might as well find an opportunity to let him go.
"Be careful!" Ding Ying warned, and slashed at Gu Shengchao's neck with the wind of her palm. She turned her back to the master and winked at Gu Shengchao, signaling him to move down the mountain.
The ancient sage pretended to be real and used the Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm taught by Lu Chuan to deal with it and retreated towards the cliff.
Ding Ying hurriedly stopped her and kicked Gu Shengchao in the waist. She secretly shook her head and said, "Seeking death!"
Gu Shengchao returned the palm with understanding and said: "I will die and live again. I will let you see the subtleties of my palm technique."
Ding Ying suddenly realized that there must be something fishy about the ancient sage Chao who fell from the cliff some time ago and was uninjured and recovered his internal strength. She stopped blocking her, and the two of them fought towards the cliff. She was afraid that her master would see a flaw and see that Gu Shengchao was able to spot every move, so she used Seven Kungfu.
Lu Chuan's Jiutian Biluo Palm is indeed exquisite. Ancient Sage Chao's internal strength is not as good as Ding Ying's, but he is not far behind.
Master Ding Ying stared at Gu Shengchao's figure and palm skills. The more she looked, the more frightened she became. Seeing that the two of them reached the edge of the cliff, she could no longer hold on and said "Oh!" and fell down.
"Master!" Ding Ying saw her master falling down for no apparent reason and hurriedly ran over. Gu Shengchao didn't know why, and stood on the edge of the cliff, ready to jump down and escape at any time.
Ding Ying knelt down and helped her master up, letting her rest on her lap, and said anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you? Do you need to notify other master uncles to come over and help check if you are sick?"
"I'm fine." Master Ding Ying shook her head. She waved her hand towards Gu Shengchao and said softly: "Let me ask you, are you a disciple of the Four Kings Valley?" Her tone was soft, without any trace of her previous words. Old-fashioned.
Gu Shengchao shook his head and said: "Senior, I am not. This sect has never heard of it."
"This is strange. You must know that the 'Nine Heavens Blue Falling Palm' you just used will not be easily taught in the Four Kings Valley unless it is a direct relative or a disciple who has made great achievements. Even if it is taught, it is usually only one and a half moves. Teach them all. Although you are not very proficient, someone has taught you everything, but why? Can you tell me?" Master Ding Ying was full of doubts and eager to know the answer.
"This..." Gu Shengchao wanted to conceal Lu Chuan's whereabouts, and thought for a moment before saying, "It was a senior professor who did not inform his disciples about the Four Kings Valley."
"Is the senior you are talking about called Lu Chuan?" Master Ding Ying asked, staring at Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao was surprised. He couldn't understand the relationship between the woman in front of him and Lu Chuan, and he was afraid that it would be detrimental to Lu Chuan. He hesitated and said: "Junior is stupid and doesn't understand what the senior said."
Master Ding Ying waved her hands tiredly, "I'm very tired, please go and don't bother my girl again."
Gu Shengchao looked at Ding Ying reluctantly, and finally said, "Farewell." He jumped from the top of the cliff and returned the way he came.
The moon was sparse, and Gu Shengchao was worried about Lu Chuan and others' anxiety, so he walked quickly.
Back at the hut at the bottom of the valley, Lu Chuan was drinking tea. He listened to Gu Shengchao's detailed report of the entire incident and asked, "You said that Master Ding Ying let you go. Are you sure you jumped off the cliff in front of her and walked down the path?" Coming back?"
"That's right, the senior looked like he was injured and very tired at the time. The junior came back the same way because he was afraid of another trouble." After Gu Shengchao said this, he suddenly woke up and repented: "Oops, I'm being followed. "
"It's too late." As soon as Gu Shengchao finished speaking, a woman's voice came from outside the house, and master and apprentice Ding Ying had already walked in hand in hand.
"Lu Chuan, you made me search so hard!" Master Ding Ying looked at Lu Chuan, her eyes filled with tears and she was about to cry.
"It's not easy for me to wait for you. I once swore that I would never set foot on Qixing Cliff again in this life. How many times have I waited at the foot of the mountain where we met, but I can't wait for you." Lu Chuan shook his head repeatedly, but he was also helpless. and chagrin.
It turns out that the two people have known each other for a long time.
"I'm going to prepare tea." Gu Shengchao was the first to react, pulling Ding Ying, who was still in shock, out and closing the door.
The two of them came to the foot of a laurel tree not far from the house, where people in the house could see them when they opened the door. Gu Shengchao stood still: "Let's stay here first."
Ding Ying broke away from Gu Shengchao's hand and urged: "Don't you want to make tea? Go and prepare it quickly. Don't keep them waiting for too long."
Gu Shengchao laughed in a low voice and said: "Don't you see that the two seniors should be old acquaintances. Now they are reminiscing about the past. If I went in rashly, it would not disturb others' enjoyment. On the contrary, it would be my fault. I was just looking for someone." Just an excuse to leave."
Ding Ying thought for a while: "Yes, you are still thoughtful." She looked at the hazy scenery in the distance shrouded in the moonlight, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Actually, I also have many things to ask you, why did you fall off the cliff? How did you recover your internal strength after escaping from death? Why do you want to go to our Qixingya Tianxuan Peak tonight?"
Gu Shengchao did not hide anything and told Ding Ying all the reasons. He finally said: "Senior Lu asked me to go up the mountain to inquire about a person, so I went up secretly. I never thought I had time to ask you." , and was discovered by your master."
"Who is the person you want to inquire about?" Ding Ying asked eagerly.
Gu Shengchao said truthfully: "It's a woman named Fang Xingdan."
"What, who is it?" Ding Ying was surprised.
Gu Shengchao looked at her expression, "Why, do you know Fang Xingdan?"
"This person is my master, and he is the one in the room." Ding Ying looked at the thatched house with flickering lights, with mixed emotions.
